The specific embodiment
An embodiment below with reference to the exemplary card explanation Melding card recreation shown in the secondary special card shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2-13.In Fig. 1, a secondary card 10 comprises board 12.Each of board 12 is opened and all comprise mark or other mark type with nameplate on first side, and also comprise common design or mark (perhaps can keep blank) at opposite side, thereby when board 12 placed face down are on a surface, board 12 is beyond recognition each other.
This pair card 10 can be classified by the type and/or the pattern of board, and can be in every type or pattern further disaggregated classification.For example, first pattern and second pattern are represented with 14 and 16 in Fig. 2-9 respectively.Every kind of pattern also comprises suited cards and at least one suited wild card of multiple sub-pattern.For example, first, second in first pattern and the 3rd sub-pattern represent with 18,20 and 22 respectively, and in second pattern first, second represented with 24,26 and 28 respectively with the 3rd sub-pattern.The suited wild card of first pattern is represented with 30, and the suited wild card of second pattern is represented with 32.This pair card 10 also comprises at least one no suited wild card (shown in 34 among Figure 10).As described below, to carry out with this pair card 10 in the method for Melding card recreation at some, suited wild card can be used at any other board of identical suits representative, and does not have any other board that suited wild card can be used to represent any pattern.
The board 12 of other type can comprise effect card (36 among two exemplary effect card such as Figure 11-12 in the card 10, shown in 38), and triumph board (shown in 40 among Figure 13), can have multiple variation though those skilled in the art know that this pair card structure, and be in the scope of the present invention.
With reference to figure 2-9, the board with 14,16 every kind of patterns representing comprises identifiable suit-specific indicia 42, for example background colour usually.For example, the suited cards of representing with 14 (among Fig. 2-5) belongs to first pattern, as by 44 expressions of first suit-specific indicia (being expressed as green background color).Similarly, the suited cards of representing with 16 (among Fig. 6-9) belongs to second pattern, as by 46 expressions of second suit-specific indicia (being expressed as blue background color).But, though the suit-specific indicia of board shown in every kind is expressed as background colour, also can use the mark of any appropriate, shape for example, mark etc.
Alternatively, some or all suited cards of every kind of pattern can a shared theme feature, its to be familiar with recreation based on background story or the player of theme be understandable, or self-evident.For example, every of every kind of pattern suited cards comprises pattern 48.Pattern in first pattern on some suited cards (Fig. 2-4) expression children.More specifically, these patterns all expression come from one group of personage in the book series for one group, and the player who is familiar with " serial unfortunate event " book series of Lemony Snicket can think Baudelaire orphans.Similarly, the pattern on some suited cards (Fig. 6-8) represents that all another group comes from the personage in the identical book series in second pattern.
Some embodiment can also extend to this theme feature or composition the suited wild card in every kind of pattern.For example, though suited wild card 30, pattern 48 on 32 is expressed as the question mark that stylizes, but the suited wild card of other embodiment can comprise thematic indicia, the whole personages' that occur on the suited cards of particular suit combination pattern for example, thereby a kind of visual cues is provided, and promptly this wildcard can be used to represent any suited cards of any personage's pattern that comprises appearance.In addition, shown in the embodiment, suited cards can comprise more than a kind of suit-specific indicia (for example background colour except that subject person) as shown.
As mentioned above, every kind of pattern comprises suited cards and at least one suited wild card of multiple sub-pattern.For example, with reference to figure 2-5, first, second in board 18,20 and 22 expression illustrated embodiment, first pattern and the 3rd sub-suited cards.Similarly, first, second in board among Fig. 6-8 24,26 and 28 expression illustrated embodiment, second pattern and the 3rd sub-suited cards.Every subsuited card all is expressed as and comprises identifiable special sub-suit markings 50, for example pattern 48 of littler version.For example, sub-suited cards 18 (Fig. 2) belongs to the first sub-pattern, as by the expression of the first special sub-suit markings 52 (being expressed as the face of story personage Klaus Baudelaire).Similarly, sub-suited cards 20,22 belongs to the second and the 3rd sub-pattern in first pattern, as respectively by the second and the 3rd special sub-suit markings 54 (being expressed as the face of story personage Violet Baudelaire) and 56 (being expressed as the face of story personage Sunny Baudelaire) expression.Similarly, sub-suited cards 24,26 and 28 belongs to first, second and the 3rd sub-suited cards in second pattern, as by first, second with the 3rd special sub-suit markings 58,60 and 62 (each is expressed as different personages' face) expression.
As shown in the figure, because each sub-suited cards belongs to a kind of specified suit, therefore every subsuited card comprises special sub-suit markings and suit-specific indicia.In the illustrated embodiment, special sub-suit markings is expressed as different personages' face, and special sub-suit markings is expressed as background colour.But as mentioned above, the mark of any appropriate all can be used as special sub-suit markings, for example mark, shape etc.For example, in certain embodiments, some aspects of each sub-suited cards epigraph 36, perhaps this image itself can be used for the sub-pattern of indication board.
And as shown in the figure, sub-pattern and pattern be ordering not, and does not represent the fiducial value of classification, and the sub-pattern of every kind of pattern does not represent with the sub-suited cards of other pattern corresponding relation is arranged.But the alternate embodiment of this pair card can comprise the card of ordering, with method for gaming and/or the rule that can specify relative order or numerical value to multiple pattern and sub-suited cards.
Except above-mentioned sub-suited cards, every kind of pattern also comprises at least one suited wild card.As mentioned above, some methods of carrying out Melding card recreation provide and can be used in the identical suits representative suited wild card of other board arbitrarily.Thereby, need specific suited cards if get distributional (meld), then can use the suited wild card of identical suits to represent this specific board.Thereby suited wild card 30,32 includes suit-specific indicia 42.More specifically, suited wild card 30 comprises first suit-specific indicia 44 (green background color), and suited wild card 32 comprises second suit-specific indicia 46 (blue background color).But, can use the consistent any suit-specific indicia of suit-specific indicia on the sub-suited cards with identical suits.For example, be used as background colour as fruit green on the sub-suited cards of particular suit, then the wildcard of corresponding pattern can comprise green in other place on board.Alternatively, suited wild card can comprise any suit-specific indicia, no matter be separately or the suit-specific indicia on the corresponding board with identical suits combine, belong to particular suit to represent this suited wild card.
Equally, this pair card 10 comprises at least one no suited wild card.Similar a bit with suited wild card, some methods of carrying out the Melding card recreation provide the no suited wild card that can be used to represent any other board of any pattern.Thereby,, then can use no suited wild card to represent this specific board if get the specific suited cards of distributional needs.A kind of exemplary no suited wild card 34 comprises pattern 48 as shown in Figure 10, and it is expressed as and suited wild card 30,32 question mark that similarly stylizes.But no suited wild card 34 is expressed as and does not comprise suit-specific indicia.Pattern 48 more suitable being expressed as on the no suited wild card are depended on (against) mutually with the background 64 that stylizes.The background 64 that stylizes, or any other be positioned at card this lip-deep mark or design, can be suitable for providing a kind of visual cues, promptly do not have suited wild card and do not belong to particular suit.For example, if the suit-specific indicia of color code is used for suited cards, the background that then stylizes 64 can comprise the color that is not used in any suit-specific indicia on the suited cards, perhaps alternatively can comprise whole colors of using on the suited cards, thereby the no suited wild card of expression can be as the board of any pattern.Alternatively, be not expressed as and comprise the question mark that stylizes, can use suitable mark or mark arbitrarily as pattern 48 although there is suited wild card 34.
In this pair card 10, the quantity of pattern and sub-pattern can be as required or based on changing such as the factor of expectation method for gaming and/or expectation recreation level of complexity.Card, suited wild card in every kind of pattern and the sub-pattern and the quantity of not having a suited wild card also can change.For example, for simplicity, illustrated embodiment is represented two groups of suited cards, and every kind of pattern comprises three subsuited and at least one suited wild card, and every subsuited is represented by an exemplary board.But a kind of commercial embodiment comprises a no suited wild card and four kinds of suited cards, and every kind of pattern comprises three suited wild card and three subsuited, and every subsuited has seven boards.
Every effect card can comprise explanation or other mark, the special efficacy when the expression effect card is got.As shown in Figure 11, effect card 36 comprises that explanatory note " sees adversary's board for example! ".Thereby when effect card 36 was got, the player that can allow to get this effect card saw selected adversary's board.Alternatively, the rule of recreation or method can regulation recreation be subjected to the influence of included mark on the effect card in a predetermined manner.For example, as shown in figure 12, effect card 38 comprises " unmarked " of stylizing (), and it can represent that the special efficacy of effect card 38 is special efficacys of other effect card of cancellation.Thereby if first player gets an effect card (for example effect card 36), second player who then has effect card 38 can get this board to cancel the special efficacy of first player's effect card.
In the effect card 36,38 each is opened and all to be included in the identical background 64 that stylizes that occurs on the no suited wild card 34, and still structural variation can be expected, and thinks and be in the scope of the present invention.Equally, this pair board 10 can comprise having the effect card that is different from above-mentioned disclosed other special efficacy, is applicable to the method for gaming and/or the rule of expectation.For example, in one group of exemplary rules, the player attempts to form two groups and gets and distributionally take turns recreation to win one.Thereby, except effect card 36,38 or replace effect card 36,38, the effect card of using with this group rule can comprise that one or more requires selected player to extract the additional cards of predetermined quantity and finish distributionally to win an effect card of taking turns recreation additional, one or more requires selected player to abandon distributionally and extracts the effect card of respective numbers additional cards, or the like.
The same with the suited cards in this pair card 10, effect card can comprise the mark of selected theme of further embodiment or background story.Alternatively, the special efficacy of different effect card can comprise the theme composition.For example, consistent with aforesaid " serial unfortunate event " story theme, the effect card that requires selected player to abandon distributionally and extract additional cards can be represented with the image in the house of the burning on this effect card, representing an incident in this story, thereby represent the miserable special efficacy of this board visually.
Similarly, the triumph board can comprise thematic indicia, perhaps can comprise common victory indicia.As shown in Figure 13, triumph board 40 comprises text " triumph for example! ".But the triumph board of other embodiment can comprise victory indicia, for example one or more being suitable for this board be defined as the winning pattern and/or the text of board.Equally, if should pair card 10 comprise and surpass one triumph board, then every triumph board can comprise identical or different victory indicia.For example, a kind of commercial embodiment comprises many triumph boards, and every triumph board is represented a different scene in the above-mentioned book series.Equally, triumph board 40 is expressed as comprising generic background 66, but the triumph board of other embodiment can comprise the background that stylizes, the background shown in for example on the effect card 36,38, and other background, or do not have background.
As mentioned above, and as following more detailed description, the triumph board can be rewarded the victor who takes turns recreation to.Thereby the triumph board can be used as the scoring system of this game winners of expression, and does not extract in order to the mode similar to other board in this pair card 10, gets and/or abandons.Similarly, the triumph board can be consistent with the size and dimension of other board in this pair card 10, is beneficial to continuity or convenience, but other embodiment can comprise the triumph board of unanimity like this, maybe can comprise the scoring system that is different from the triumph board.
In this pair card 10, the same with suited cards, the quantity of effect card and triumph board and type can be as required or based on changing such as the factor of expectation method for gaming.The special efficacy of effect card also can change.For example, for simplicity, illustrated embodiment is represented two kinds of effect card and a kind of triumph board.But a kind of commercial embodiment comprises two kinds in four kinds of different effect card and the seven kinds of triumph boards that comprise different victory indicia.
Utilize in the exemplary game method paragraph below of above-mentioned notion and card and summarize.These recreation are the Melding card recreation, thereby can be by multidigit player recreation, and every player takes turns in the recreation one and plays in turn, and recreation takes turns by one or continuous many wheels are formed.
The illustrative methods of carrying out Melding card recreation with a secondary aforesaid card comprises issues every player with the board of predetermined quantity; With remaining board placed face down, then will be at least from remaining board one card be turned into and face up, with the generation heap of playing a card; Beginning one is taken turns, and wherein allows every player to select successively to extract one card from the remaining board or the heap of playing a card, and forms distributionally, and goes out one card in the heap of playing a card; Finishing one when a player forms one or more distributional predetermined combinations takes turns.
If should comprise effect card in the pair board, then illustrative methods can also comprise get effect card in the heap of playing a card after, the special efficacy of effect card disappears.In addition, if should comprise the triumph board in the pair board, then illustrative methods can also comprise a triumph board is rewarded to finishing a player who takes turns; When the triumph bridge queen game over of having rewarded predetermined quantity; And when game over, determine to obtain the victor of the player of maximum triumph boards for recreation.
Rule in groups that such method can be used by this recreation or interpretation are clear or strengthen, it can also stipulate the details of playing, for example one or more boards combinations, and/or one or more the distributional combinations that must form by being defined as finishing to take turns by determining to form distributionally.
For example, in a kind of commercial embodiment, this pair card comprises a no suited wild card and four kinds of suited cards, and every kind of pattern further comprises three suited wild card and three subsuited, and every subsuited has seven boards.One group is used to use the example of the rule of this pair card can stipulate distributionally to be by three or four groups that board constitutes, to have only the board of identical suits could form distributionally, and the combination of the suited cards that can form distributionally comprises:
The board of-one group of four same subsuit,
Two sub-suited cards of-two groups of identical suits,
The board of-one group of three same subsuit and
-one group of three board comprises a sub-suited cards of every subsuited in the identical suits.
In other words, be example with suited cards 14, one group of such rule will be stipulated followingly to be combined as distributionally:
-one group of four board 18,20 or 22 (for example, [18,18,18,18] etc.)
-two groups of two boards 18,20 or 22 (for example, [18,18,20,20] etc.)
-one group of three board 18,20 or 22 (for example, [18,18,18] etc.)
-one group of three board comprises in board 18,20 and 22 one in every sample.
This group rule can also represent that suited wild card can be used for representing any other board of identical suits, and does not have any other board that suited wild card can be used to represent any pattern.
